X4: Foundations

pretty neat

Pretty addictive

Alright, got into this properly now with a few YouTube guides and the latest update. It's growing on me. I am enjoying it and look forward to playing some more. EDIT: Updated a bit, now about 133 hrs in and loving it Pros: ----- - complex space stuff - pretty open ended: combat, trading, mining, manufacturing--like EVE but the only arse is you! - deep - supports many different playstyles - easy to start doing basic missions - plenty of fun mods Cons: ------ - it's 8 years old, character models are a bit dated (but the game isn't really about that) - complex space stuff (takes a bit to get your head around the UI, and commanding other ships etc) - had a tutorial bug, nothing earth shattering but took some work to get it to allow me to progress to the next task (restarts etc) - a few frustrating mission 'bugs' or sometimes not clear how to progress, but managed to solve it with some focus, nothing game breaking.

10/10, es posible echarse la carrera

this game has so many things you can do, and ways you can interact with the world, but all i do is build my space trade empire, and its amazing

Muito bom o jogo, com a nova atualização está ocorrendo alguns erros, não sei se é pela dublagem em Portugês, mas a maioria das missões estão travando e algumas naves novas também estão travando o jogo, fechando. Peço que arrumem isso.

This has to be one of the most frustrating games to learn and play. I've never seen a game do such a poor job in teaching the player what to actually do, and I actually played some X3. The tutorials cover the core basics, but you're left to figure everything else out on your own. You're stuck asking yourself, "what do the devs want me to do?" Yes, it's a sandbox, but they don't give you much direction. Even the beginner scenarios don't teach new players anything but stuff they already learned via the tutorials. The game looks fun, and I was prepared for a steep learning curve, but the game makes it more frustrating than anything. I shouldn't have to goggle things every few mins because the game tells you nothing. I feel like I waste more time in this game than anything. I'm over 60 hrs in and I feel exhausted just trying to learn this game. It's not that this game feels complex, you just have to play for hours and hours and figure things out on your own. You're constantly figuring things out by trial and error. I can complain about the UI and some bugs as well, but those are the least of this games problems. The idea of going thru another 60 hrs of trial and error just to learn this game is why I have to step away. It simply isn't worth the headaches Hopefully, I'll pick this up down the road and figure everything out, but for my sanity I have to stop.
